Application filed September 30, 1919. Serial No. 327,538

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMMA POYER, a citizen of the United States, residingat Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California,have invented a new and useful Garment, of which the following is aspecification. V

This invention relates more particularly to a one-piece garment'of atype especially suitable for nurses and others desiring to wear agarment that is comfortable to work in and one that at the same tlme isfitted more or less to the body so as to present a neat appearance.

An object of this invention is to produce a garment of this descriptionwhich Wlll fit loosely enough to permit of comfort to the wearer and atthe same time will fit sufliciently close at the waist to give somewhatthe appearance of a house or street dress.

Other objects and advantages will; appear in the subjoined detaileddescription.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

Figure l is a front elevation of a garment embodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the garment.

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the garment.

Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are sectional plan views on lines indicated by :c '0003 -02 and 00 -95 respectively, Fig. 3.

There are provided front pieces 1, 2 and a back piece joined by seamslto the front pieces so as to form a onepiece garment. F astened at itsopposite ends by stitches 5 to the front pieces 1, 2 is a belt 6. Thebelt is also fastened intermediate of its ends to the back piece 3 bythe stitches 5. The back piece 3 is provided with a box plait 7 securedby the stitches 5 of the belt. From the belt 6 downwardly for a slightdistancethe box plait 7 is secured or held in by stitches 8, and saidbox plait is loose above the belt as indicated at 9 and graduallydisappears toward the neck and is loose below the stitches 8 asindicated at 10 and gradually disappears toward the hem of the garment.It is thus clear that the back piece is gathered in somewhat, at thewaist so as to fit closely to the wearer, and that the box plait is freefrom fastening above the belt and somewhat below the belt to permit thegarment to expand at the back.

The side portions of the fronts 1, 2 are provided with plaits or folds11 which are secured or held in at the belt by the stitches 5. The folds11 are loose above and below the belt as indicated at 12, 13 andgradually disappear toward the neck and hem of the garment. The folds 11being free from fastening excepting at the belt permits the garment toexpand at the sides above and below the belt to give freedom of movementto the wearer. I

Fastening means 14: are provided to connect the front pieces 1, 2 toeach other. The ends of the belt are spaced from each other so that thefront pieces hang straight and loose.

From the foregoing description of the invention it will be seen that,while I have employed certain devices well known in the dressmakers art,the particular combination utilized produces a new result and gives apleasing effect to the eye as well as comfort to the wearer even thoughshe be employed in the various duties incumbent upon the nurse.

' I claim:

In a garment, fastened to the fastened at its opposite ends to the frontpieces and fastened intermediate its ends to the back piece, there beingfolds in the front pieces respectively fastened only at the belt andgradually disappearing toward front pieces, a back piece the neck andhem of the garment, and there being a box plait in the back piecefastened at the belt and for a slight distance below the belt and looseabove the belt and somewhat below the belt and gradually disappearingtoward the neck and hem of the garment, and the belt having its endsspaced apart and the front pieces hanging straight and loose.
